Chloe Kay Coscarelli (born October 14, 1987) is a vegan chef and author.
Chloe Kay Coscarelli is the daughter of filmmaker Don Coscarelli.[4] She is a graduate of UC Berkeley,[5] where she discovered her love for cooking.
A summer internship at Millenniu], a gourmet vegan restaurant located in San Francisco, led to a course of study at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City.[6] Coscarelli was a contestant in Cupcake Wars, her vegan cupcakes garnering her first prize.[7][8] She became the first vegan to win a culinary competition on television and was named to the 2017 Class of 30 Under 30 by Forbes.[9]
Since 2020, Whole Foods has partnered with Coscarelli, who creates prepared vegan holiday meals for Thanksgiving.[10]
In 2022, Club Med also partnered with Coscarelli to add vegan meals "at all eight of its all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean."[11]
In mid-2015, Coscarelli partnered with ESquared Hospitality to open the vegan fast casual restaurant By Chloe[12] (stylized by CHLOE) on Bleecker Street in the West Village of New York City.[13] By 2017 the chain comprised five locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan,[12] with additional locations in Los Angeles, Providence, and Boston.[14] In July 2017, Coscarelli was forced out by ESquared in an arbitration award after she filed suit in 2016 over control of the company.[15] In December 2020, By Chloe filed for bankruptcy.[16]
In 2021, it was acquired by "a consortium of investors that already had stakes in the company," and rebranded as "Beatnic."[17][18]
In 2012, she published her first cookbook, Chloe's Kitchen, followed by Chloe's Vegan Desserts in 2013, Chloe's Vegan Italian Kitchen in 2014, and Chloe Flavor in 2018.[19] Chloe's Vegan Desserts was named one of the 16 best vegan cookbooks for 2023 by Food & Wine.[20]
